MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (pacathletics.org) - The Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC) had 14 players voted to the D3football.com All-Region 2 Teams, which were released Wednesday.
This marks the fourth consecutive year the PAC had at least 14 players garner All-Region recognition from D3football.com, which began naming All-Region teams in 2005.
The NCAA realigned Division III football into six regions in 2021. Region 2 includes the Centennial Conference, Empire 8, Landmark Conference, Liberty League, New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) and the PAC.
The two PAC teams to make the NCAA playoffs paced the conference representation, as PAC champion W&J and Grove City both placed five on the teams. Geneva College had two earn spots, while Westminster College and Saint Vincent College had one each chosen.
W&J's five players on the All-Region teams means the Presidents have been represented every season on the D3football teams since the site began naming All-Region in 2005. It also continued recent runs for Grove City, who has now had All-Region players seven years in a row, and Westminster, who has placed at least one on the squads in five of the last six years.
This is the first time Saint Vincent has been represented on All-Region since 2022 while Geneva's two selections mark the first time the Golden Tornadoes have had players voted to the teams.
Thirteen of the players on the list collected All-Region accolades for the first time in their careers. This marked the third season Grove City linebacker Ben Bladel was recognized following First Team laurels in 2023 and Second Team a season ago.
The teams, selected in balloting by Region 2 sports information directors and D3football.com staff, were chosen from 240 nominations by full Division III member schools. A total of 79 players were chosen. Players nominated for All-Region are eligible to be considered for D3football.com All-America honors, which will be announced Monday, Dec. 22, 2025.
